Several vibrant robots surround you as if they might bend down to interact at any moment. Towering over four feet in height, their grandeur leaves many fans amazed and cheering. This has become a must-visit spot for boys and girls passionate about robots.

Located near the Puli Winery, the "Metal Base" was created entirely because of a business owner's promise to his beloved son. Initially, he only planned to make a custom robot for his child, but he eventually grew fond of the craft. After years of accumulating creations, he opened it as a robot theme park, allowing others with similar interests to join in the fun.

These incredibly lifelike robots, with their exquisite appearances, are all made from discarded building materials and car parts. Their ingenuity and imagination leave visitors in awe. The park’s most popular robots all stand over four feet tall. Their massive size steers them away from being mere toys, instead giving them a more realistic feel.

▲Fans are thrilled to see such towering robots.

From the big screen to the venue—transformers like "Optimus Prime" and "Bumblebee," or childhood favorites like "Mazinger Z"—all appear full of energy, identical to their iconic images. They attract crowds eager to take photos. Netizens say that while they could only save pictures of these robots on their computers before, now seeing them in person is incredibly fun.

▲Miniature creative robots pop up in every corner, serving as delightful surprises.

In addition to the giant, wildly popular robots, the park also features smaller ones. Using the same materials and techniques—plus boundless creativity—these eye-catching, cool artworks come to life. The little robots are hidden in various spots, and stumbling upon one feels like an extra little surprise.

▲The author’s childhood favorite, "Mazinger Z," has also been brought to life by his skilled hands, stepping out of the screen and into the real world.

Strolling through the expansive exhibition space and admiring the cool robots up close is an unforgettable experience for avid fans. It’s no exaggeration to call it a paradise for robot enthusiasts. Visitors are reminded not to touch any of the exhibits to avoid accidental damage.
